In which I get out there in meat-space.
One day my prints did come!
In which I geek-out over some high-tech print-production apparatus.
Notes from Nell Carr Farm
‘Notes from Walnut Tree Farm’ is by far my favourite Roger Deakin book. His assembled notes and jottings are packed full of ideas. The signal-to-noise ratio is phenomenal.
